IMPROVED CLOTHES-MANG-LE.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and makingparl: of thesame.

To all whom 'it ana/y concern.-

-tion and arrangementof a cloth es-mangle, which will be hereinafterfully set fortha.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains, to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, whichform a partof this'specification, and in which- Figure 1 is aside view,and

Figure 2, a front'view.

Figure 3 is a side'view of the roller, part in section;

Figure 4 is an end view of the roller, the end-piece removed; and

Figure 5, view of the end-piece ofthe roller.

A represents the box in which'the maugle is placed.

B, the table, to which said box is secured by means of two cam-wheels yCO, as shown in g. 1.

N ear the bottom of the box is placed an iron roller, a, which has itsbearing in the sides of the box, and is turned from the outside by acrank, D. y

This roller a furnishes the motion to the 'mangleboard E, which rests onraid roller, andis at one end with cloth, so asv to cause the clothes topass under the large roller.

0n each side of the iron rollera, is placed a roller,

b, which has its journal-bearings'in the sides of the box A, andkecpstbe mangle board at all times level.

At a suitable-distance above the viron roller a, is placed a largeroller, F, the journals of which' pass through verticalslots in thesides of the box A, and have their bearings in ears c on the levers G,pivoted, one on each side of the box.

A rubber band, or ring, H, connects each of he levels G with anotherlever, I, also pivotcd to t e `side of the box A. The other end of thelever I is acted upon by a small cam, e, so that by the use of saidcams, the L rge roller F can be made to press as hard as desired againstthe mangle-board.

i The large roller F is made in sections, as shown in iig; 4, and theends of such sections are provided with recesses i t.

At the ends are placed circular end-pieces J, which, on their innerside, are provided. with projections m lm, corresponding in size withthe recesses 'i i.

When theseend-pieces are placed in proper position, so that theprojections m 'in twinto the recesses M, the sections of the roller areheld together. The end-piecesare then fastened by screws.v

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the large roller F, mangle-board E; and roller d,levers G G and I I, rubber bands H H,

'and cams e e, all constructed and arranged substantially as and for thepurposes herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand,this 17th day of December, 1868.
